THE MAIN CHATEAU - 7 Bedrooms

The main chateau is in fact a XVIIth and XVIIIth Century Castle, built between 1635 and 1707 and thought to have originally been used as a hunting lodge before transitioning into the castle it is today.

Guests are surrounded by breathtaking views of vineyards, lavender fields and truffle oaks, as well as a small olive grove and superbly landscaped formal gardens. The resulting atmosphere is truly enchanting.

A long driveway flanked by tall platane trees guide you to the Chateau, which has been completely restored ensuring XVIIth century architectural respect. A beautiful alignment of mullioned windows and stone frames, highlighted by the intricately carved front door, welcome you into the interior of the chateau where 1000 square meters of living space is found.

Two spectacular pools are found here as well - One uniquely positioned within the historical Orangerie, offering a fantastic indoor experience with walled windows; and a second located outdoors overlooking the gorgeous views of the surrounding hills.

A delightful vaulted chapel with beautiful carved gate dating back to 1661 can also be found adjoining the main Chateau.
